| Review Comments: |
Spirit joined the crowd over at Vision and Horizon by introducing a front-drive, variable ramp ellipitical design last year. Needless to say, we were skeptical that the design would hold up well to the forces placed on it by the user. To date the littney of problems that we thought might occur, have not. We have updated our thinking to include the fact that we could be wrong. This unit is another decent value in the Spirit lineup. |
